The Effects of Short-term Intensive Inpatient Rehabilitation on Motor, Non-motor, and Neuropsychological Functions in Parkinson's Disease.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: In previous studies, intensive rehabilitation for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) has been implemented in both outpatient and inpatient settings, with varying durations across studies. Among these, most inpatient intensive rehabilitation programs are conducted for 1 month, with few reports evaluating detailed changes in neuropsychological functions. In this study, we investigated the effect of a short-term intensive inpatient rehabilitation program lasting 2 or 3 weeks on motor and non-motor symptoms, motor ability, and neuropsychological functions in hospitalized patients with PD. Methods: We enrolled 15 patients with PD (7 men, 8 women; mean age, 75.1±6.5 years; Hoehn and Yahr stages III/IV, 12/3). The rehabilitation program included physical, occupational, and speech-language therapies and was implemented daily for 2 or 3 weeks. Motor and non-motor symptoms as well as motor abilities were assessed using the Movement Disorders Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale, Functional Independence Measure, Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39, and other assessments. Neuropsychological functions were evaluated using Japanese versions of the Mini-Mental State Examination and Frontal Assessment Battery and using the CogEvo (computerized cognitive function evaluation) tool. Scores were compared before and after intervention. Results: This short-term inpatient rehabilitation therapy significantly improved motor and non-motor symptoms, motor abilities, reality orientation as assessed by CogEvo, and the overall quality of life. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that short-term intensive rehabilitation in patients with PD may achieve favorable outcomes even within a limited timeframe. Further discussion of the appropriate duration of inpatient rehabilitation for patients with PD is warranted.
